Ghanaian rap sensation Emmanuel Kweku Owusu Darlington, professionally known as Kweku Darlington, has addressed the challenges that led to his year-long break from the music industry.
According to Darlington, he experienced spiritual attacks from individuals he once considered friends, who later became adversaries intent on sabotaging his career.
Speaking in a recent interview with Roselyn Felli on Joy Prime TV, the rapper explained that the intensity of these attacks forced him to halt his musical endeavors, as he felt he was "buried spiritually." He attributed his health issues to a conflict with two former friends."I had a misunderstanding with someone, but I didn't take it seriously because, you know, boys will be boys.
It shouldn't have gone that far.
It was just between two friends-a male and a female. "I was down for the whole year, last year.
It was so bad for me-I had friends who turned into enemies.
It escalated to the point of involving juju and all that.
It was very crazy, so you didn't hear much from me during that time.
It even affected my skin; I couldn't go out.
The whole idea was to keep me inside because I'm dangerous when I'm outside-when I'm making music and all that." Read Also: Hiplife Is The Sound To Ghana's Success In The Market - Kweku Darlington "In a nutshell, I was buried with only my head outside.
I was sick for the whole year.
I wasn't eating; my mum was always crying," he recounted.The artist behind the hit song 'Sika Kankan' further mentioned that he sought help from various hospitals and herbal practitioners, but saw no improvement until he participated in a Christian fellowship at the Atwea Mountains, where he experienced a spiritual breakthrough. "It wasn't a medical issue; it was spiritual.
It started with my eyes.
I went to the clinic, and they did all they could, but they couldn't find the cause.
They gave me drugs, injections, and spectacles, but nothing worked.
It was my congregation back at Atwea Mountains that identified what had happened to me.
After that, we had to clear all these things before I could start taking the prescribed medicine," Darlington explained.
